...destroy as quickly as you can.' " Dr. Crile on Glands. Medicine is cautiously probing at life, health and disease with the newest tools of chemist and physicist. In England Dr. James Eustace Radclyffe McDonagh, whose studies are gradually becoming known in the U. S., is using colloid chemistry, including the physicochemical action of the electrical charges on colloid particles. In the U. S. Dr. Crile applies electronic interpretations. Dr. Crile last week boldly predicted that during the coming century "the state of activity ... of the body [will be measured by] the relative percentages of the different parts...

Dr. Wilson was judged worthy of the medal (given for outstanding achievement in colloid chemistry) for his seven years' study of leather. He had found that the dimensions of leather are affected by changes in relative humidity, that shoes swell, pinching tender feet, when wet weather approaches. By using special tanning materials, he proved to shoe manufacturers that this foot-squeeze...
